Riassunto

This book is essential reading for anyone who wishes to understand the UK's Equality Act 2010 and its background. The Act is the outcome of more than a decade of research and public debate, starting with the publication of Equality: A New Framework: Report of the Independent Review of the Enforcement of UK Anti-Discrimination Legislation by Sir Bob Hepple, Mary Coussey, and Tufyal Choudhury (Hart Publishing, Oxford 2000). This book examines the aims and structure of the new legal framework and assesses the Act against four goals of reform set by the earlier review: harmonizing and extending the law on status equality; widening the areas of unlawful conduct; changing organizational policy and behavior, including positive duties to advance equality; and improving enforcement of the law. Written by distinguished expert Sir Bob Hepple, whose report of the Independent Review of the Enforcement of UK Anti-Discrimination Legislation helped shape the Equality Act, this is an up-to-date account, written in an accessible style, which will benefit academics, practitioners, and students.
